Toronto Maple Leafs vs Nashville Predators Prediction
This total is too high. The Predators offense has been a major issue heading into this game and it’s going to be much of the same here. The Maple Leafs are averaging 3.08 goals but they aren’t going to need to have the best offensive game to find success, and they are going to run up the score here. Look for a 2-1 or 3-1 type of game and the under is going to cash here. Back the under.
